| millercarbon The website is a bit amateurish. The masthead says "HIGH ED" rather than "High End" -- or am I missing something? "The People" features one interview with Tekton, a brand MC touted over and over again. And then I think he ditched them. (Or was tha... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @lemonhaze I don’t have DIY skills but I know someone who does. Thank you for the link! I will admit, though, that the first paragraph really raised some suspicions: "Once I’ve realized how a single cable could make or break a HiFi system – I w... | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? But can you really evaluate a system by listening to highly processed, electric/electronic music? How do you know what that sounds like?

| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? @oddiofyl Thanks for the elaboration. These remain on my list.

| Posting the wrong MSRP: why? OP, can you give some details? Curious what someone did that made you post this. | |
| There's No Question If I'm getting it right, Tekton uses some cost saving techniques and materials for the cabinets and puts money into the drivers -- is that right? Tekton's drivers are very high quality? Is that their secret (plus design)? | |
| New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k There's a used deHavilland ultraverve on USAM which is a steal and huge value. That's where I'd go. | |
| There's No Question Very nice post -- interesting to read and to hear about your journey. The theme of this post, as I take it, is: Why we're staying married. It's a love note to a speaker that you could have abandoned, but you're sticking with it. If you do wind up ... | |
